<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>On a stormy night in 1286, a man fell off his horse and broke his neck, setting two kingdoms on a 300-year course of war. Edward I seized the opportunity to pursue English claims to overlordship of Scotland; William Wallace and Robert Bruce headed the 'patriotic' resistance. Their collision shaped the history, politics and nationhood of the two realms, and dragged in a third with the formation of the Franco-Scottish Auld Alliance. It also created a unique society on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border. What prevented peace from breaking out? And how, at the dawn of the seventeenth century, could a Scottish king succeed, peacefully and unopposed, to the Auld Enemy's throne? <p/>Andy King and Claire Etty trace the fractious relationship between England and Scotland from the death of Alexander III to the accession of James VI as James I of England. Spanning medieval and early modern history, this book is the ideal starting point for students studying Anglo-Scottish relations up to the Union.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Andy King is Lecturer in History at the University of Southampton, UK. <p/>Claire Etty is Senior Assistant Researcher at the Oxford English Dictionary, UK.<br>Andy King is Lecturer in History at the University of Southampton, UK. <p/>Claire Etty is Senior Assistant Researcher at the Oxford English Dictionary, UK.</p>
